The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The earth-shaking bull's eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating it was in a frenzied state, especially the cow, which occasionally let out mournful moos, staring intently at Wang Jingnan's back. "Wang Jingnan! What are you doing?!" Lin Yue screamed in terror, her face pale.

Wang Jingnan sprinted to the edge of the camp with a sharp turn, panting heavily, and explained at lightning speed: "The Wind-Striped Leopard Cat ran too far and came back to take a shortcut, only to find this den of Stone Badgers digging in the dirt. Isn't that Zhou Ming's target, the Mirror Beast? So I just provoked it a bit... but I didn't get far before I ran into a family of Earthshakers! I figured if I took one, I'd take two, so... so I threw an explosive ball to try and draw their aggro... but I didn't expect it to kill the calf directly. Not only did it draw their aggro, but the two bulls went berserk!"

At this point, he realized he had brought back a bit too many mirror beasts. Looking at the billowing dust and the ferocious roars, his tone finally carried a hint of guilt: "Can we kill them? If not, I can take them and run away..."

The target Mirror Beast was right in front of them. Killing it would grant them the Beast Core Extraction skill, but Zhou Ming and Zhu Rao felt their throats go dry as they looked at the group of fanged Stone Badgers and the two Earthshakers in a berserk state with bloodshot eyes and white breath coming out of their nostrils.

To kill alone amidst such chaos and shock? They had absolutely no chance.

Just then, Moran asked Su Yu beside her, "Are you confident you can take down those two stone badgers?"

Su Yu, who had already gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, flashed a sharp light in her eyes and said without the slightest hesitation, "Okay!"

"Alright!" Moran quickly gave the orders. "The two stone badgers on the left are yours! The two on the right and the earth-shaking bull are mine! The rest of you, help divide the battlefield, create obstacles, and give Zhou Ming and Zhu Rao the opportunity to kill the target mirror beasts on their own!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Moran bravely faced the oncoming dust cloud.

Su Yu remained silent, her eyes sharp as knives, and followed closely behind, rushing straight to the left.

Facing the two fanged stone badgers on the right and the enormous, fire-breathing bull on the earth, Moran showed no fear.

As they ran, whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!
Several flashes of cold light appeared as she simultaneously threw three throwing knives, which accurately struck the left eyes of the two stone badgers on the right and the earth-shaking bull!
"Whoosh-!"

A painful roar erupted instantly. The excruciating pain from the eye injury caused the three mirror beasts to instantly lock their hatred onto Moran. They went completely berserk and charged at Moran recklessly.

This is exactly the effect Moran wanted!

She fought and retreated, guiding the three ferocious mirror beasts to the right side of the battlefield to make room in the center.

The longsword is used to parry and slash, forcing back the claws and fangs that approach. Throwing knives are launched when the opportunity arises, either to interfere or to injure, constantly weakening the opponent while ensuring that the aggro is firmly on oneself, working together seamlessly.

The most dangerous time was when the bull unleashed a ferocious charge, like a chariot rolling over the rocks, its force creating a trench in the rocky ground.

At the critical moment, Moran dodged the attack by sidestepping, and at the same time cleverly "slapped" a blind stone badger into the spot where he had just been!

boom!
With a muffled thud, the stone badger was knocked over by the bull and rolled away, the sound of bones cracking clearly audible. Moran, however, was unharmed and, taking advantage of the stone badger's fall, plunged a knife into its eye socket, ending its life.

On the other side, Su Yu was completely focused on offense against the two stone badgers, using offense as a substitute for defense.

Her knife skills were ruthless and cunning; every slash was aimed directly at the gaps in the badger's shell, its joints, and its eyes.

With agile movements and continuous flashes of light, wounds of varying depths appeared on the stone badger's body.

Although she also suffered some injuries, she managed to force the two stone badgers to retreat steadily, making it impossible for them to form an effective encirclement, let alone interfere with the main battlefield.

The other students quickly sprang into action, some pulling tripwires, others throwing smoke grenades. The beast core skill Ren Miao had extracted a few days earlier played a crucial role at this moment.

The seemingly weak but slow-moving water arrow accurately struck the stone badger and earth-shattering bull, which were being restrained by Moran and Su Yu.

The water arrows did not cause much damage upon impact, but they quickly dissolved into a layer of viscous water energy, as if putting invisible shackles on their limbs, significantly slowing down their charging and pouncing movements.

This greatly facilitated Moran and Su Yu's maneuvering and tug-of-war, and also significantly reduced their threat level.

With Moran's precise traction, Su Yu's strong suppression, and the effective support and separation from his teammates, the center of the battlefield was completely cleared out, leaving only a stone badger and a female earthshaker.

Without needing anyone to remind him, Zhou Ming charged at the stone badger, and Zhu Rao also rushed towards the mother earth-shaking bull.

Both abandoned all opportunities for trickery, putting themselves in danger and giving their all in a primal and direct contest of strength and will against their target, the mirror beast.

Only in this way can they extract the Mirror Beast Cores they obtain and use them to their own skills to the greatest extent possible.

Moran fought three opponents alone, yet he was the first to finish the battle.

After collecting the mirror beast's corpse, she quickly glanced at the battlefield on her left.

Su Yu looked rather disheveled, breathing rapidly, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her arm holding the knife even trembling slightly. Clearly, she was at her limit and had exhausted a great deal of physical strength.

But the two stone badgers that fought her fared even worse.

The hard stone armor on his body had long since shattered inch by inch under Su Yu's fierce attacks, with most of it falling off to reveal his bloody and mangled body underneath.

Moran took a slight step, but then stopped.

Looking into Su Yu's eyes, which remained stubborn, fierce, and gleaming with an undeniable possessiveness even in her exhausted state, she immediately understood.

At this moment, what she needs is not help, but to use her own strength to completely end these two mirror beasts that she has almost worn down on her alone, so that their cores and materials can become her spoils of war completely and without any controversy.

Moran shifted her gaze from Su Yu to the center of the battlefield.

Without interference from other mirror beasts, Zhou Ming and Zhu Rao handled the situation fairly well in a one-on-one fight. It was only a matter of time before they captured their target mirror beast, although injuries were inevitable.

A few breaths later, the suffocatingly fierce attack and defense on the left side of the battlefield came to an abrupt end.

With a low, suppressed shout filled with pain and determination, and the final muffled thud of a blade tearing through flesh, Su Yu's longsword pierced the last stone badger's relatively soft throat.

She herself was almost completely exhausted, the tip of her knife gripping the ground as she swayed slightly, breathing heavily. Sweat dripped down her chin, and her combat uniform had several new tears, with traces of blood seeping out. (End of Chapter)
